Shorthorn cross what for a show calf?

Angus Cattle Shower

Well, since the new SEMEX catalogue came out, Im deciding on what to AI all of my cows to. I need something fancy enough to show, yet somehing with guts, and good maternal instinct. I am crossing al of my cattle this year cause the CAA screwed me over big time.

Predicament 1-My new shorthorn heifer. Bull choices(all club calves): Manchild (HANNIBAL/Purebred Shorthorn)http://www.onlinebullstud.com/Composite/ManChild.html , CherryBomb (Heatwave/Cuina)http://www.onlinebullstud.com/Composite/Cherry%20Bomb.html, and Doctor Who (Who Made Who/WitchDoktorxAngus). http://www.onlinebullstud.com/Composite/whomadewho.html (who made who)

Predicament Two. A 7078 VRD Daughter that needs an improved udder and more milk. L Bull Choices: Little Cedar Aviator (shorthorn), HH Latitude (Polled Hereford) and JRI Heavy Equipment (Glebvieh)

Three: Angus female, will be herthird calf: has good milk, needs LOTS more frame and Muscle. BUll choices: Need advice lol.

Thanks, and I saved up my pay for the last while so Im spending the $40/straw now lol.

Well Angus, I can't offer any advice but your gonna be in a heap o trouble mister. I was looking through the bulls (which I would never have been looking at if you had'nt posted Razz

) and the two that really caught my eye were LC Suspect 0109 P ET ( GASP, Horrors a CHAR!!!!) and the shorthorn bull Notorious. OMG are they ever the wrong color but man do I like what I see! I will have to stick with the horses!, my very rookie eye keeps pointing me at Chars, even though everything I have been taught here say once you go black, you'll never go back!!!! (I hang my head in shame LOL

Judith, it is true, once you go black you can't go back, wait, it's not true!! It is hopefully the best decision I have ever made, my blacks have caused me greif, and the Angus ass'n isn't helping much either. lol. Go to a Shortie and stick with it lol

I thought about KOOL, but he is PHA and TH (I think that is what it is called) positive, and I don't want that in any part of my herd.

On your #1 shorthorn hfrMaybe an angus bull like Midland.
On #2 how about Marriott or 6807. Also angus.
On #3 without knowing her breeding it would be hard to guess. But sticking with a theme it would be ANGUS.
Good luck with what you decide.

#3 Is a Da Es Ro Twister granddaughter.

Im trying to get away from angus genetics, because an angus steer isnt going to take a show over here.

On the angus hfr I might try Krugerrand. If you aren't worried about color to much maybe cross her to a char or possibly a red angus.
